Not strictly speaking CTB but this High Court case about definition of student for purposes of the CT status discount is perhaps of interest- was decided in March 2011 but only just on Bailii recently.

R(Feller) v Cambridge CC [2011] EWHC 1252 (Admin)

Concerns whether the requirement that a student is someone who is “attending” a course means they need to show up at a particular place. Finds they do not.
